Stanford University opens in California

In 1891 Stanford University opened its doors. After 67 years of planning and building it was complete. People predicted that professors would lecture in marble halls to empty benches. The first student body consisted of 555 men and women.

Henry Ford Introduced the Model T

At first the model T costed $825. That was a lot of money at the time. By 1914 the moving assembly line made production easier and faster resulting in more cars than any company at the time. With the development of this car, Henry Ford made his company the biggest in the industry.
